Having problems with your Kodak EASYSHARE Z1285 Digital Camera ?

I've been trying to upload pictures but whenever i plug in my Kodak EASYSHARE Z1285, it won't synchronize and a screen comes up saying the device information can not be found.. how can i sync my pictures?

Answers :

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.\012\012\012

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Sony DSC-W100 My screen (LCD?) looks like it is shattered, no picture. Where to purchase a new screen and is it fairly easy to replace ? The pictures come out fine, but I would rather be able to delete if I don't care for a picture. Hope this makes sense. Some say, to purchase a new camera, but this camera wasn't that reasonable! Thanks. Dolores

Uploading pictures whenever i go to hook up my camera to the computer it comes up saying connecting to pictbridge device then a minute later says enable printer to connect and underneath says switch on menu then i do that and all it does is come up with usb connect......do i need to change it from pictbridge to ptp or mass storage or what? i dont know what just happened..its worked fine for me every other time

Mass storage is easier, in my opinion. In that mode, when you hook the camera up to the computer, it will show up as a device in My Computer. Then you can just access your pictures there. ...

Sometimes when I am ready to take a picture I point, focus and shoot and at the bottom of the screen in red it will say 1/15 and next to it F 50 or other times it will say F38 and picture comes out blurry. Do I have it set on the wrong scene for the type of picture I'm taking at the time? Please help.

Yes you have the incorrect setting the 1/15 in red is showing you the shutter speed and if you are hand holding this and composing/shooting using the LCD screen there is no way on this earth you are going to have a sharp image. The F50 (I think this ...

"unidentified image" About half the time when I take a picture it will take fine and show up and then when I go to look at it after it will say unidentified image. Sometimes the picture will still show up but in a small portion of the screen and still say unidentified image. I thought it was the memory card bought a new one and synced it and it still does this about half the time.

Not a perfect solution, but CANON will replace the camera, regardless of waranty if they find it is their problem if it is the SD400 ... I've sent them an email to see if the same applies for all their cameras.\015\012 Maybe if enough people ...

My new Insignia Digital Photo Keychain won't load. I bought 2 of them, and both of them when I connect them they say ''connecting'' on the blue screen, but they never come up on my computer. My device driver says there is an error and it cannot upload the device driver. I don't know what to do to bring up this software if my computer won't recognize it when I connect it.

My screen says 'internal memory is full'
I have only taken about 50 pictures. I then bought a new memory card but after 3 pictures the same message comes on screen.

You need to look at your image storage settings. Press "Menu", "up/down" and "OK" to choose "Image Storage"; is it set to "auto" or "internal"?If it's set to "Auto" then there's some reason that it's not recognising your memory card. You ...

This is to inform that I am having Casio Digital Camera Exilim EX-Z500 for last few years. The same was giving very good pictures, but
last week, it suddenly started malfunctioning.
Whenever, we took indoor pictures, they were coming out well as per attached pictures (CIM2831 & CIM2826) but when the camera was taken outside in the day light, though the picture was very clear on the LCD screen but after clicking, the picture is overshadowed with white light (as per other attached pictures).

Some things to try:\0121. Go into the menu and find "reset" to return to factory default settings.\0122. Check the ISO setting....you may have it set too high for outdoor pictures.\0123. Check the "exposure compensation"...it should be at "0". ...

I have a Pentax K200D and I dropped it from less than a foot high on a rock (archaeological site) and now it won't take any new pictures. I can see the old pictures, I can see the menu and info but when I chose an option (like manual or sports) the information does appear on the screen. Also, when I take a picture, it seems to focus right, take the picture, but when I visualize it, it is completely dark... Finally, the flash won't come out if I press the button. Please help me!! :S Thx

Any kind of impact can damage any digital camera. The internal components can be damaged beyond repair, the lens system can also be damaged to the point the camera will not even turn on, except for an error of some sort. Cables can be shaken loose, o ...

As I pull out the LCD screen on my A95 the picture will come on at about 100 degree angle to the camera body. If I continue to move the screen to a use able position then the screen goes black again. I find this is the only angle that the screen will work at. My local repair shop says too expensive not worth it. The camera has taken some punishment over the years - any suggestions?

I would agree with the repair shop cheaper to replace than fix... but if your a do it yourself kinda person you can fix this the problem. sounds to me as if the one or more of the LCD wires have broke the following link is to a replacement screen you ...

This comes up when the lens sticks. Try removing the colar around the lens, then turn the camera on/off and give it a "little help" to open or close, it's probably just a little stuck ...

Camera Everytime I turn my camera on it comes on, but the lens goes in and out a few times before the screen goes completaly black and says to turn the camera off then back on again, I do, and the same thing happens all over again, not allowing me to take any pictures. However, I can still view the pictures that have been taken...and that are on my memory card.
